Labor Day Challenge? WHOO HOO!! That would be my birthday this year. So Sept 5 Monday is Labor Day. I am ALL IN on this one for sure.

Thanks Zoe on the compliment on the new avatar. It was taken the day we went to our friends wedding. I was sick as a dog with a cold. Felt like shit. LOL!!

20lbs by Labor Day is my goal. I go in for my 3rd fill next week and I'm hoping it will be the one that actually gets me to real restriction.

Ohhhh....to be 175lbs. I can't begin to tell you all the clothes in my closet that would fit me that don't right now. It would be like inheriting a whole new wardrobe.

Keep me in line....PLEASE!

I am getting married on August 28. I would love to lose 30 lbs by then, but I will be happy with 20.

Since a lot of people missed this post, I'll repost it =) I believe this is the current plan... as I said, I'll be implementing the necessary code changes to to the challenge software this weekend... we should be able to start on Monday.

For the next challenege, I'd like to do a before/after challenge, complete with pictures. A summer challenge, ending on Labor day sounds about right to me. I can update the software I wrote to include the ability to upload a before picture, and a current/after picture (that could change as often as people wanted to upload one.) The scale doesn't always tell the whole stories... pictures don't lie! =) (Well, ok, they can... but let's say they can't for the sake of supporting my argument.)

Just an idea =)

Add me to THAT list!!!LOL I havent done one of these challenges yet!I weighed myself this morning and was down to 250 woowhoooo 40 lbs!!! But my scale is weird sometimes-it could be more,less,or right on par~ lol.

Unfortunatly i dont have very many before pics...I didnt even want to see or have it known my pic was being taken : I`ll track one down though.

I just wanted to encourage all those that start this challenge to NOT give up in the middle.

Many of us may gain weight and become embarassed to post it, or not lose as fast as someone else/others... regardless! The ONLY way we get support is to allow each other into our "world"!

So please, dont give up... I promise, when this challenge ends, you will have lost something!

Even if you want to give an update every 2 weeks or monthly!

I find it easier to go for a "goal" then just lose whatever at my own pace. :)

Good luck everyone!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
